Windy and warm, Indian summer: Wyoming, the new Palm Springs.

Wyoming has recently been voted the “most optimistic state” in the union, yet political rallies nationwide now resemble crime scene reenactments.

A recent polling of voters living in both incorporated and unincorporated towns and municipalities of southeastern San Diego County found the incorporated towns favored Kamala Harris and the unincorporated favored Trump. The polling leads me to believe that Harris is indeed the ‘law-and-order’ candidate and Trump is the libertarian choice. Kamala is seen as ‘the new thing’, in contrast to the ‘old guy who dyes his hair orange.”

In 1969, not long before he died, Theodor Adorno, philosopher, was interviewed in Der Spiegel.

Q: Herr Professor, 2 weeks ago everything seemed all right with the world.

A: Not to me.

From now on everything I write must begin with the words, “I know nothing about_____________” and end with “I knew nothing about ________________ until _________________”.
